Is The TikTok Fake Freckles Trend Safe?


Freckles are often seen as a sign of youth, and while some people view them as a pain, they have long been made fashionable by the beauty industry since the 1960s. More recently, fashion models such as Aleece Wilson and Adwoa Aboah have been made famous by the perfect archipelago of the little brown specks across their faces.

More recently, freckles have been making waves on TikTok, with users of the popular video-sharing social media platform finding ways to get the look.

However, how safe is the fake freckles trend? An Australian reality TV star was left with permanent scarring and temporary blindness in one eye after trying out the DIY TikTok trend, leading people to question the safety of the TikTok hack.

TikTok users have been demonstrating various ways to achieve the freckles look, using everything from brown markers to henna ink. The latest TikTok hack involves using a sewing needle and ink to tattoo freckles onto your face.

However, it is unlikely that you would want to give yourself a tattoo with a needle you found at home, so it’s not a good idea to try and do the same thing by using a sewing needle to tattoo freckles on your face.

Aussie Big Brother star Tilly Whitfeld was hospitalised after trying the dangerous hack for herself, and pleaded with followers on social media to avoid any DIY or ‘at-home’ beauty techniques such as these, following the incident that left her scarred and with a loss of vision in one eye.

As with such procedures as microblading treatments in London, it is always best to leave these beauty treatments to the professionals
